I’ve not had any disappointing results from VLC. Is there a reason why MPV would be recommended over VLC or MPC-BE?

[–] jroid8@lemmy.world 45 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

I have both VLC and MPV and VLC used to take 0.5 second to seek forward while MPV being completely seamless. But I just tested again today and VLC has become seamless too with very minor differences. idk what changed

Edit: to answer your question I can't say much other than preferences. I like MPV because it's minimal, but VLC is good too

The problem I have with vlc is it's too minimal. I use the playback settings a lot and there are looping and playlist to enqueue videos. It's just easier to use and you don't have to memorize a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for a damn video player.

mpv has a video controller on screen and if that isn't enough, you can use smplayer which is GUI frontend for mplayer & mpv
